no probs!! as has been said, I do get carried away - not far enough I hear you all cry!!!!

Sorry, just reading through again, and you say that Mary was described on the baptism of Lidia as the daugher of Peter and Alice Atherton.

Lancashire Ann, is that likely right?

(LA being the guru of Lancashire records).

I suppose no reason why not.

So, being a bit slow, an Atherton may have married an Atherton.

I'm sure that Ann of GG will forgive you, she likes to zoom off like a woman possessed, there is no stopping her!

Marilyn, that baptism doesn't mean her mother was Atherton at birth, it just means she was known as Atherton at the time of Lidia's birth. Parish records rarely recorded the maiden name of the mother. Some just said Peter Atherton and his wife! Cos she wasn't at all important was she?

Thanks safc but it says on Lidia`s Atherton`s baptism that her mother Mary is the daughter of Peter and Alice Atherton, so two Athertons married.

Lancashire Ann, dont know more information about Marys father Peter, just that from Lidia`s baptism. Think I decided that Peter Atherton married an Alice Culcheth in 1764, having first child in 1765 according to Family Search, just got to check this out sometime when we visit Wigan Archives.

do you know what the occupation of Mary's father Peter was?

Oh no I have an apology to make to the both of you I think.
Sorry Lancashire Ann got a bit mixed up, tried to type it quick. Lidia is the daughter of John and Mary Atherton (Mary was described on the baptism of Lidia as the daughter of Peter and Alice Atherton)

John Atherton married a Mary Atherton but I cannot find a marriage of John and Mary in Wigan, only a Molly Atherton and John Atherton.

Lidia was born 1808 in Wigan, I have her baptism as above. She married a Jabez Newton, also born in Wigan.

Just wondered if Mary could in fact be Molly.

All that work you did Ann (Green Gables) and as I got the names mixed up none of them seem to be mine. A HUGE APOLOGY hope you can forgive me.

Sorry, Marilyn (thanks for your help)
